Aprovechamiento de residuos orgánicos (cáscara de almendra) para sustitución de árido grueso en la elaboración de hormigón convencional = Use of organic waste (almond shell) to replace coarse aggregate in conventional concrete processing

The present work seeks to know the possible use of organic residues, such as the almond husk, as a substitution of a part of the granulometric fraction of the coarse aggregate for the manufacture of conventional concretes. For this, first, we characterize the materials, arid and almond husk. Subsequently, we made the concrete samples with different substitutions (10%, 20% and 30%) of almond shell on the coarse fraction of the aggregate and proceed to the tests marked by UNE standards, evaluating their behavior to compression, Traction, flexion, water penetration, water absorption, ice and melt and thermal.
